I have recently replaced the fuel injectors, and though there is still about .5mm of o-ring protruding, they seem to be in solidly. The engine now fires, but after about 40 seconds it chugs painfully and dies. The coil is new, the rotor and cap are new. The sparkplugs are new. The mass air flow sensor is new, and I've checked all the vacuum hoses for leaks or looseness.
I sprayed some carburetor cleaner around the fuel injector openings to see if they were sucking in air, but no extra power came, as it would if the Carb cleaner was sucked in. I did not grease the o-rings or the holes for the injectors before I put them in, should I have? The bolt holding the injectors in is fastened all the way down snugly. The fuel pump is new, as is the gas tank and all the gas lines have either been replaced or blown clear.
I was wondering if it was just an idle speed problem as the engine can be kept running if you apply the accelerator. The only other thing I'd guessed was that the fuel injectors are not seating properly and at slow speeds the gasoline isn't atomizing from them right.
On a different subject, I went to pull out the front strut, according to the Muir manual, but both bolts holding the bottom end broke off. I cannot now get these out. I have tried a hammer and punch but it doesn't move. Is there another way I can get the bolts out, or do I have to try and drill them?
Any help would be good. Thanks.
